My new book is out. "21st Century Fix" is a collection of recent columns. It can be found online, and I'm anticipating several local promotional events, but I'm starting this Saturday 10 am at Gloria Johnson's gathering for canvassing and phone banking, 311 Morgan St. Anyone writing a check for $20 or more to her campaign gets a signed copy.
